[lace] Armistice A. Turtora Passing

[cec]

I noticed Jeri's reference to an Armenian Lacer with CRLG and wanted to
pass the news.

Armistice had been in ill health recently and at 90 years old, passed
away October 10th.  We have lost a very active advocate for tatting and
lace making in general.  She also taught many people to tat and was a
force in our Guild for many years.  

I didn't know her, in her younger days, but she was very active in her
community and served on Fairfax City, VA boards for recreation and
cultural arts.  She was honored recently with the naming of a large
recreation field, The Armistice A. Turtora Bowl which is open space
usable for many family activities.  She lobbied hard to not turn it into
a single use ball field.  It is now a site for many activities used by
all ages and family gatherings.  

She will be missed.

Regarding the display of lace in the museum in Wisconsin, Lois Markus is a
member of the Minnesota Lace Society and has donated many of her items
through the society to this Museum. Lace Works of Adornment will be a
wonderful display of her collection that she gathered from the world over.
I hope you can visit it. Many of us in Minnesota plan to make a trip over
to Wisconsin. Enjoy! Sue Rypka.

[lace] Ma's Laces - Recent South African presentation of WWI Belgian Ma's Lace Story

[Jeri Ames]

For our historians,
 
A friend just sent a link from an October 28, 2017 newspaper in Port Alfred,
South Africa, reporting that Richard Brooksbank is still telling the story of
his great-grandmother, Louise Lienaux Vergauwe, and the laces she created
during WWI.  We last heard he was giving these talks in 2015, from our
Arachne member (Janis) in South Africa.
 
https://www.talkofthetown.co.za/2017/10/28/amazing-historical-lace-pieces-deÂ
 
 
If you own the book "The Story of Ma's Laces 1914-1918 - Her response to the
trauma of wartime" you may wish to copy the article and place in the book.
 Or maybe you have a research file about War Laces made during WWI, and will
want to keep this related story.
 
I think that there will be an opportunity to see these laces at the 2018 World
Lace Congress in Brugges.  There will be a celebration acknowledging 100
years of lace making following the end of WWI.  According to the dedication
in the book, these laces can be seen today, by request, at the Musee du
Costume et de la Dentelle de la Ville de Bruxelles. 
 
If you own the book and want the story to survive, perhaps there is a WWI
museum near you that would preserve it for future study.
 
The friend who sent this article to me did a search and she thinks the book is
out-of-print; unavailable from major booksellers like Amazon, Abe's Books,
etc.  However, I remember having to order it directly from England, for $30
plus $14 shipping and handling, so it may never have reached a "commercial"
distributor.
 
The book was printed privately in 2004 in Sheffield England - in limited
quantity.  Authors are Kerry and Carol Brooksbank.  ISBN 0-901100-54-4.
 Softbound.  No page numbers, 16 chapters.  Contains a substantial history
of lace, plus large number of photos.
